Government should 'work with us, not against us' Taranaki Chamber of Commerce CEO saysSTUFF Taranaki Chamber of Commerce chief executive Arun Chaudhari thinks Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's comments about the oil and gas industry has increased uncertainty in the sector. Of course the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce wants to see more investment in renewable energy. The above report found that the oil and gas industry pumped $1.57billion into Taranaki's GDP and $2.79 billion into the country's economy. New Zealand's energy generation was 80 per cent renewable energy and all of our natural gas comes from Taranaki. As the local Chamber of Commerce we continue to work with many stakeholders on behalf of the business community in the region.
